Madugu has handed recalls to experienced midfielder Ngozi Okobi-Okeoghene, forward Francisca Ordega, and in-form striker Gift Monday, while also offering opportunities to Belarus-based forward Blessing Nkor and Turkey-based midfielder Kafayat Shittu to impress on the international stage.

Nigeria’s preparations against Senegal are expected to provide valuable tactical and fitness assessments ahead of the 2026 WAFCON tournament, where the Super Falcons will be aiming to reclaim continental dominance.
The 10-time African champions have been drawn in Group C alongside Egypt, Zambia, and tournament debutants Malawi. Senegal, meanwhile, will compete in Group A against hosts Morocco, Algeria, and Kenya.
Importantly, the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations will also serve as the qualification pathway for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil.
